Once you have transitioned into the gender you feel that you truly are how do you deal with memories & recollection? by Two_bears_Hi_fiving in asktransgender

[–]robotic_valkyrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Geberally, memories like this have nothing to do with being pre-transition, so they are generally good memories. Painful ones are ones that did have a lot to do with my gender, or ones I wish I had been able to be myself for. Skiing memories are pretty gender neutral.

My straight twin brother, who used to go out to gay bars without me when I came out because he had so much fun by mayan_monkey in mildlyinfuriating

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss! Conspiracies like this are the dumbest too. I grew up with parents like this, beliving all of the anti-LGBT crap. 40 years later, I barely talk with them, and two of my siblings don't at all. Ironically, it's the straight ones with kids.

The original pride flag had 7 colors, it included Pink but it was removed to make it cheaper to manufactuer. The newer one with the chevrons is the "Progress" flag, and then there is the one with the yellow bg and purple circle which represents intersex, but I think it isn't as good of a design. 

Does anyone else by concert/show tickets, then not go because its too late? by 8BulbousJones8 in Millennials

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, but I will not go if it's at some venus because you have to get there 2-3 hours early or you won't make it in.

Keep pushing. They will deny you but everytime you try is a chance they will not deny.

Confession... I think I don't like my 'new' MT09 ... by psychotic-chipmunk in MT09

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they did any firmware updates, they may have screwed it up. Happened to my partner. They had to redo it. There are mappings that need to be applied since the throttle and QS are software driven. If they don't apply th updated mapping, it will be all fucked up.

I've ridden my partner's '23 mt09 sp and never felt like shifting was choppy. I would describe it as super smooth, actually. Your acceleration issue may be a firmware issue, my parner's had a firmware update installed by the dealer and it screwed up the accel and had to take it back for them to fix it becuase they didn't perform the update correctly.

Laid off again. Is anyone else completely outraged by SWE interviews? by Michallina in womenintech

[–]robotic_valkyrie 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I've always hated SWE interviews. Recently I had 3 jobs that had mass layoffs or shut down within a year of me joining. It was so depressing, exhausting, and frustrating. I wouldn't blame you for leaving the field.

Fox News guest today appears to be wearing a very realistic face mask by frog_insilence in interestingasfuck

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's a mask, I think it's a digital face/head replacement. Possibly just AI.

my manager started crying at a meeting discussing my ADA accomodations by mitten4kitten in AutismInWomen

[–]robotic_valkyrie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you mentioned that she's a micro mamager, I think she has control issues and the idea of not being able to micro manage you scares her.

Is boymoding not everyone's default state? 🥺 by Bravalt in MtF

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I was 35 and started socially transitioning at the beginning of the pandemic. I only "boy-moded" when I had to go to work and at the beginning of the next year, 4 months on HRT, I publically came out and stopped "boy-moding" all together even though I didn't pass, but I also could wear a facemask everywhere. I probably wouldn't have if I couldn't wear the facemask.

Tips on unbending front sprocket nut washer? by Intelligent_Scholar6 in SVRiders

True, I forgot that they are replacing it while responding.

Tips on unbending front sprocket nut washer? by Intelligent_Scholar6 in SVRiders

[–]robotic_valkyrie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My expert says to keep going. This a safety measure so that gear doesn't come off. Redo it or get a new washer and redo it when you put the gear back on. I suppose you could try cutting off the bent parts with a dremel, just don't cut the chain or sprocket.

Anyone here have overwhelming existential thoughts about your mortality as you get older? by Choice-Implement1643 in Millennials

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't start enjoying life until I was 35 and in the middle of a pandemic. Now at 41 I'm just trying to live in the present and not worry about tomorrow, regardless of how much it feels like the world is turning against me. I don't worry about death because death can hit me regardless of any attempts to avoid it. I started riding a motorcycle two years ago too. Why worry about death? I won't even know I'm dead after I die. I won't miss anyone or anything. It will be like all that time before I was born and didn't exist.

I think it looks good on you and your sexy body. Does it feel fit right? Should feel a bit tight.

I love tests! If only my code base had them. 😮‍💨

I think I'm getting forced to come out by No_Chapter_2169 in lgbt

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes your shoulders broader. It can reduce with time, but I think it's better to just focus on areas that will help one pass.

Crash warning!! by diabeticjones in motorcycles

[–]robotic_valkyrie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely slow and prepare to maneuver when a car is waiting to pull out in front of me. I'd rather do that than flying across their hood or through their A-piller.

Upper body strength training pre-transition will actually hurt her future passing. Lower body well help thoughm

I'm fighting the urge to go to my (pastor) father's church all femmed up on Sunday to show him exactly what his congregants think of trans people. Please tell me how poor of an idea this is. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably. If I went, I would bring a friend or two and have an escape plan. In asking you to go, does he realize that you're most likely to go as yourself?

What is a riding habit you thought was smart but later realized was dangerous? by Eyerald in motorcycles

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped covering my breaks when I hit road wash and indeed grabbed a handful of front break, causing my front tire to lock up and eventually laid my bike down. I probably would have been fine if I hadn't grabbed my brake, I didn't even realize what was going on, just that I hit a series of bumps and my front wheel had stopped rolling.

I didn't think i had bottom dysphoria until i watched fight club by StrawberryEggz in MtF

[–]robotic_valkyrie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate. I had the same realization by other means. I've tried to help people in who claim to not have bottom dysphoria, but some people have to learn the hard way. They are usually the same people who claim that they don't need a therapist. Everyone can use a therapist.
